It's been a few months now, and I can conclusively say that, after holding off for years, a double oven is the way to go. It's worth it. It's everything. Oven Wilson and I have made some beautiful dishes together. MORE THAN ONE AT A TIME EVEN
Today I'm biting the bullet and getting an air fryer.

60% because I want to try new recipes and 40% because I want to name it Fryan Reynolds.
Anyway, if you have favourite air fryer recipes, please feel free to share them! I'm a newbie.
Oh btw @thatzoek we're getting an air fryer today. 🤷‍♂️

🧵Want to know how protests like today's #FluTrucksKlan benefit alt-right extremists? Here's some 101 on how hat operates.

First, they pick an issue that has reached a boiling point. In this case, it's the pandemic and health mandates. They know a lot of people are exhausted.
1/
But it's not REALLY about health mandates or truckers. We know this because:
1. the US has the same vaccine restrictions for cross-border so it doesn't matter if Canada removes ours anyway
2. It was largely organized by major alt-right figures who aren't truckers.
2/
However, those major alt-right figures DO have other things they seem to care very much about and speak on often, such as anti-immigration & anti-LGBT sentiments.

The problem is, those views aren't widely shared. So how do you get your voice heard on Parliament Hill?

A sincere thanks to everyone who's shared this rebuttal today of what is an unnecessary and unsubstantiated op-ed.

It took me 2 hours to calm down after reading the original piece, 2 more hours to write a thorough response with receipts. I'm grateful to see it making the rounds.
Little gets under my skin more than seeing trans kids attacked. And yes, in some very important ways, this is an attack on their safety - one that was written with a great deal of speculation and few facts. We can't let these things slide, no matter who writes them.
I hear from young trans people regularly who have left home prematurely because they're not safe there. Some are living on the streets, some in other unsafe conditions, and all because their parents refuse to accept who they are and would rather abuse them than affirm them.

One day I'm going to do a whole thread on seemingly innocuous statements that are actually indicative of transphobia. I just blocked someone with "Sex not gender" in her bio. That's a red flag. And sure enough her feed was full of transphobic people and words. Surprise!
The rest of her bio was really quite nice, including statements like "love not hate". But when a person takes the time to add something that completely negates the experience of trans individuals in their bio alongside it, like "sex not gender", that speaks volumes.
The thing is, transphobia at that level - purposeful, deliberate, bold anti-trans statements - is a form of hate. It doesn't matter how nice or respectful you are otherwise. There are a lot of "nice" racists and homophobes too. It doesn't mean they're not hateful.

THREAD in response to the San Francisco Examiner’s opinion piece, entitled: “When it comes to trans youth, we’re in danger of losing our way” by Erica Anderson

I have concerns with this one and I’ll lay them out here. 1/24
Intro: I’m nonbinary, raising a kid who came out as trans in 2014 (they're 19 now) and I’m married to a trans woman. I authored a book on affirming trans people and act as an advisor/educator on these issues, particularly in relation to trans kids and families. 2/
These are my thoughts, and I’ll back them up with facts as much as possible.

Because what I noticed, more than anything, is that this article is short on facts and big on speculation. (That being said, it was clearly positioned as an opinion piece.) 3/

Trans adults in the US are 3x more likely to experience food insecurity than their cisgender counterparts. Within this group, those most likely to go hungry are trans people of colour & those with a high school diploma or less.

I've repeatedly seen (and challenged) arguments from gender critical people who claim trans people are only "pretending to be marginalized." The stats don't support this. Across the board, in many nations, trans people face significant social, financial and medical barriers.
The premise for "claiming" marginalization is the idea among GCs that basically all trans people are older white trans women who transitioned after "building a career as men", stayed employed and are just fine.

There are so many issues with this I don't even know where to start.

Taking a break from work to talk about micro-joys for a minute - because I think we need it.

A "micro-joy" is what I call a small nugget of time in which something joyful is experienced. Since my breakdown in 2020, I've been scheduling them into my days. Here's why.
1/
Not only can it be hard some days to put aside large chunks of time for things that make us happy, but having those small bursts of joy throughout the day is good for the brain. It provides some happy hormones to break up *waves arms around* all of this happening right now.
2/
A micro-joy can be anything you want it to be with one rule: It makes you happy. That's it. So it can be watching a funny video, checking out social media accounts about puppies, chatting with a friend, drawing, dancing in the kitchen (my specialty), or just about else.
